I apologize for having to cancel, but was hoping we could reschedule for your next trip to DC or perhaps during one of our upcoming trips to Texas. I would offer a different day next week, but as I mentioned below, he will be flying out early Wednesday morning for the remainder of the week. Do you have another trip to DC planned? We will be in Dallas on Oct 19. Let us know if maybe we could arrange a meeting that day. Thank you and we appreciate your understanding.
